<p>You have refined taste when it comes to keyboards and have exacting qualifications as to the models you want but have now developed a taste for LED backlighting.&nbsp; The models you find acceptable don&#39;t incorporate LEDs or do so in a way you find distasteful.&nbsp; There is a solution but it is one that will take a long time to pull off.&nbsp; <a href="http://makezine.com/2014/07/29/custom-lighting-for-your-keyboard/">MAKE:Blog has linked to a project</a> which will take a lot of soldering and more than a little effort but if you want the coolest Dvorak or Sinclair ZX keyboard on the block it might just be worth it.</p>

<blockquote><p>&quot;Regardless of the hesitation to recommend this project, the final result is quite nice. The final keyboard layout is a Dvorak simplified keyboard, and the wiring is hidden under the keys.&quot;</p>

<p>The AOC&nbsp;d2357Ph has a nice array of inputs, D-Sub, DVI-D/HDMI, Composite, Component S-Video and Display Port are all present which will allow you to use this on almost any system.&nbsp; On the other hand as it is a passive 3D monitor and not a 120Hz display, which R&amp;B&nbsp;Mods refers to as 'poor man's 3D' and while it does offer 3D it is not as impressive as active solutions.&nbsp; 2D&nbsp;picture quality was quite good, with a minimum of backbleed and the screen is physically quite thin which could be an advantage for some users. <a href="http://rbmods.com/aoc-d2357ph-passive-3d-monitor/">Check out the full review for more information</a>.</p>

<blockquote><p>&quot;3D is the latest trend and today we are looking at a 3D screen from AOC; who is also one of our new sponsors. AOC&rsquo;s d2357Ph is an incredibly thin monitor with LED backlighting, a Full HD resolution and the ability to display passive 3D images. What kind of 3D quality can we expect from it? Stay tuned and we will figure it out.&quot;</p>

<p>HP's 2311xi e-IPS&nbsp;monitor is LED-backlit and has a native resolution of 1920x1080, giving you much better viewing angles than more commonly found TN displays, though it does sacrifice refresh rate making this display less attractive to gamers.&nbsp; Overall it seems somehow behind the times, while it has HDMI, DVI&nbsp;and VGA&nbsp;inputs HP&nbsp;left out DisplayPort which is becoming more commonly used on both graphics cards and prebuilt machines.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.techreviewsource.com/Displays/hp-2311xi">TechReviewSource also describes it as having limited adjustment capabilities</a> which is likely to frustrate professional users.&nbsp; Overall it seems that HP&nbsp;could have done a better job on this $200+ monitor, though HP&nbsp;is currently selling it with an $80 rebate making it a bit more attractive.</p>
<p class="rtecenter"><div class = "center-article-image"><a href="/news/Displays/HPs-2311xi-cheap-IPS-monitor-currently-sale-low-price" class="inline-image-link" title="View: HP2311xi.jpg"><img src="/files/imagecache/article_max_width/news/2012-05-30/HP2311xi.jpg" alt="HP2311xi.jpg" title="HP2311xi.jpg" class="pcper-inline" width="299" height="276" /></a></div></p>
<blockquote><p>&quot;The HP 2311xi isn't your typical 23-inch LED monitor. It has an extremely wide viewing angle, a beautiful IPS display and lots of connections that include HDMI. It is a full 1080p HD display that provides a very good looking image but it lacks ergonomic adjustments.&quot;</p>

<p>It may seem odd to refer to <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176242&amp;nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&amp;cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-N82E16824176242-_-na-_-na&amp;AID=10440897&amp;PID=5682563">a $680 monitor as a really great deal</a> but that is exactly what the HP&nbsp;ZR2740w is.&nbsp; Finding a new 27&quot; 2560x1440 IPS display with LED&nbsp;backlighting for under $1000 is well nigh impossible, even finding a used one for around $700 is a rare find.&nbsp; HP&nbsp;has done what no other company has though, cutting costs by removing HDMI&nbsp;and speakers as well as not including an OSD. They did not skimp on the quality of the display however, with a very good response rate for an IPS&nbsp;display as well as a very good colour gamut.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/5636/hp-zr2740w-high-resolution-ips-that-doesnt-break-the-bank">AnandTech does warn you</a> that the lack of OSD&nbsp;controls, having a colourometer to calibrate the monitor properly is very important.</p>

<p>&quot;We finally have our first real affordable 27&rdquo;, high resolution display on the market now, and it comes courtesy of HP. The HP ZR2740w is a 27&rdquo; IPS panel with 2560x1440 resolution (16:9 aspect ratio) and an LED backlighting system. With a street price that comes in at $700 or below, what has HP done to be able to bring a high resolution display to the masses at a price well below other vendors? Thankfully, they provided me with a unit so I could evaluate it and see.&quot;</p>
